The satiety value has dropped by half, and you can eat food after moving around a little more. It's time to show off the players' new swordsmanship to fillet fish!
Back at the detective agency, under the vague questioning of the NPCs, the player finally revealed the purpose of learning swordsmanship.
"What? You're learning swordsmanship so hard just to make fish sashimi?" Yosano Akiko was shocked. "Do you have to go to this extent to make sashimi?"
"This isn't just any fish!" the player flung the lobster fish at the NPC's face. "This is a lobster fish that a pretty, sweet little fisherwoman caught with her own eyes from the Tsurumi River!"
Dazai Osamu's round head popped up from behind the players, his eyes sparkling as he smiled. "I helped you too, Chiyo-chan back then, absolutely drained all my energy."
"This... is such a big fish!" Yosano Akiko exclaimed in shock, then looked at Dazai Osamu with a scumbag look. "Speaking of which, your slimy talk is really hard to like."
"Ms. Yosano is so ruthless when she speaks." Dazai Osamu's expression was fake, and everyone could see it. It was better to say that he did it on purpose. "It's really sad."
I don't know why I just couldn't fall in love with Dazai Osamu from the first time we met.
Yosano Akiko shuddered at this and felt deeply that this person was incompatible with her.
"That's not right! How can there be a fish with two lobster claws on its body in the world? And it must be two meters long! Is this normal? Could it be a mutated fish?" Kunikida Dopo stood aside, feeling helpless and furious. This surreal thing was obviously beyond his worldview.
After seeing this unique lobster fish, Edogawa Ranpo finally understood why Dazai Osamu said that just now.
The famous detective, who had already filled his stomach quite a bit: ...Good, he will really regret it.
The detective agency's table clearly couldn't accommodate this lobster fish with its ferocious claws. The player paid for a large table and several porcelain plates, chopped off the lobster's claws and put them in their backpack. Then, excitedly, they declared war on their previous opponent, "Hey, President Yukichi-san, let's have another exciting fish sashimi showdown!"
"Okay!" Before Fukuzawa Yukichi could react, Edogawa Ranpo took the lead in agreeing on his behalf.
Fukuzawa Yukichi, who hadn't yet recovered from his own powers, was covered in dust after a sparring match, and now found out he was about to prepare fish sashimi, said: "...Ranpo."
"President, please..." Edogawa Ranpo was frightened at first by his guardian's cold voice, but he couldn't resist his curiosity about the lobster fish. He came over reluctantly and looked at him pitifully.
"...I understand." Fukuzawa Yukichi sighed helplessly and said to the girl who was curious about their interaction, "Excuse me, Miss Chiyo."

How could I be angry when I saw the players who triggered the mission grinning from ear to ear?
After hearing what the NPC said, the player quickly waved his hands, "How could that be? Absolutely not. Let's get started, everyone, step back."
After changing into his usual weapon, the player wiped it carefully and did not forget to distribute the same tool to the NPC.
Some people who were in a restless mood also calmed down after a long wait and began to look forward to the delicious feast.
"Okay, we're ready. We'll each have half of the big fish. It's up to you how you want it prepared."
The player closed her eyes, then opened them again, letting out a soft breath. She was completely different now. She had evolved! She was now a Pro Max player!
The fish in front of you has had its head and claws chopped off by the player, and the remaining part is the most important and delicious part.
First, the fattest fish belly is made into sashimi, and the fish tail is used to make soup. Emmm, maybe players need a handsome plating for sashimi.
The player fumbled around and took out a large block of ice, about half a meter long and half a meter high. He then took out a carving knife and gestured with his eyes narrowed. Then he acted decisively. In a short while, he carved the square block of ice into a fish with both its head and tail pointing upwards, as if it were about to leap over the dragon gate - Ice Cube Fish Version!
"Good... very vivid, but isn't this for sashimi? Why are you carving this?" Kunikida Doppo was a little puzzled.
"Hmm, you don't understand this, Kunikida-kun." Dazai Osamu sat beside him and chuckled, "Which part of the human body do you think tastes food first?"
"Isn't this... a mouth?" Kunikida Dobu asked.
"...No, it's the eyes," said Yosano Akiko. "Before you can truly taste the food, your eyes have already absorbed its appearance."
"Exactly." Dazai Osamu snapped his fingers, his still-faint face radiating a maturity unbecoming of his age. "If the detective agency's swordsmanship isn't as good as theirs, then they should make up for it in other areas? That's a smart choice."
Before he could finish his words, the cold light he saw even from a distance made him shut up abruptly.
"How could this be?" He was secretly shocked.
Her swordsmanship was a little awkward just now, but now...how come she has improved so quickly?
From a distance, the player's sword was as deft as his own right hand, quickly separating half of the fish's fattest belly and turning it into sashimi as thin as a cicada's wing and evenly sized.
Not only that, she took out a disposable magic hot pot prop, first roasted the fish tail with spices, then added water and simmered it, and when the time was right, put a piece of white and tender tofu, and finally garnished it with some green onions and coriander.
A pot of bright, white and delicious fish tail tofu soup is ready.
"What a violent aroma!" Edogawa Ranpo sniffed the air, salivating. "I swear by my reputation as a famous detective, this soup must be delicious!"
"Mr. Ranpo..." Kunikida Dopo held his forehead. Aren't they still competing? Don't boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige!
"Then try mine first," Fukuzawa Yukichi said. "My dishes are sashimi and sushi."
"It seems that making sashimi can really improve your weapon skills. What do you think, Kunikida-kun?" Dazai Osamu tempted him. "It would be a good idea to include this method in your training plan, isn't it?"
"Hmm, it looks really good. Master's swordsmanship is really improving. It seems that making sashimi can enhance the control of weapons..." Kunikida muttered to himself and included sashimi in his training plan.
"I'm kidding." Dazai Osamu swallowed the sushi in one mouthful and laughed with his hands covering his mouth. "Kunikida-kun~"
Kunikida Doppo: "...Dazai Osamu!"
Snap—that's the sound of a pen breaking.
"Mmmmm!"
Before Kunikida could react, Ranpo stuffed a piece of sushi into his mouth. The sushi was so big and full that he could only focus on finishing the food in his mouth for the time being.
"Don't be irritated, Kunikida. Dazai did this on purpose. Come on, eat quickly. This is good stuff."
"It's so delicious. I didn't expect the president to have such a talent." Yosano Akiko gave a thumbs up without hesitation.
"Hmmmm! Okay, now it's time to taste my cooking." The player put his hands on his hips, laughed loudly towards the sky, and tore off the white cloth covering his food!
"My Fish Leaping Over the Dragon Gate and White Jade Soup!"
"The sashimi is as thin as a cicada's wing, and the fish soup is as white as jade. Just from the color, it wins." Yosano was immersed in the food, laughing off the players' antics. She took a bowl, scooped a portion of the soup, and savored it carefully. She sighed, "The color is delicious, and the taste is completely different from the president's cooking."
"This sashimi is also different. Although it is not as good as the president's cooking in terms of knife skills, it makes full use of the ice to lock in the freshness of the fish, making it taste even sweeter." Kunikida couldn't help but stretch out his chopsticks again as he spoke.
"I agree." said Yosano Akiko.
"Then the majority is better than the minority, Miss Chiyo wins!" Edogawa Ranpo, who was eating frantically, announced the final answer in the interval!
"Great! We won!" The player grabbed Dazai Osamu's hand tightly, ignoring his frantic attempts to escape, and hugged him tightly. "Great, we won!"
"Wait...wait a minute, what does this have to do with me?" Dazai's protest was drowned out by the players' celebration.
"Shut up, Dazai. I won't accept any arguments! Eat quickly!"
